The debut release was a 7" single "Anxiety" by Sons of Selina. The follow up was the band's and label's second release, a 7" called "Life Is But". This was jointly released with Delerium Records in 1993, who then signed Sons of Selina.[2] After releasing a compilation 7" EP in 1994, there was no official activity for eight years, until the release of two singles by Pocket Venus (whom Crud managed)[3] "Make It Through Your Day",[4] quickly followed by "Tell Me Why".[5] The label again took a long hiatus, this time for ten years, when it issued "Never Kill Yourself" by Braxton Hicks on 4 December 2012.[6]
Secrets of Sound's catalogue numbers were prefixed 'SOS' followed by the number of the release, e.g.; SOS 001, all followed in sequence apart from Pocket Venus' "Tell Me Why" single as it was released in both CD format (SOS 005) and 7" vinyl format (SOS 705).[7]
Neil Crud also produced several videos using the moniker 'Secrets of Sound (and Vision)' examples of which can be found on YouTube.
